Sun 28th Feb

This is another great image taken last weekend by Dan Brown, this time of a Greenland white-fronted Goose in flight.

Last night, James had a close encounter with a Barn Owl as he went to shut his hens in. As he opened the top half of the stable door, the Barn Owl flew out, a near miss by all accounts!

Over the last fortnight, our visiting birders, and friends who gave me their sightings were Albert and Hazel Percival from Cambridge, and also Gordon and Pauline Yates who also contributed quite a few of the images of late. Many thanks for your assistance and sharing them with us all.
